At least 10 Tottenham Hotspur fans have been injured after they were attacked in Rome ahead of their Europa League clash with Lazio, with two reportedly stabbed.

At least one supporter was seriously injured and nine others received treatment after an incident in a bar in the Italian capital in the early hours of Thursday morning.

A report on the Gazzetta dello Sport website said a gang of masked assailants carried out the attack at the Drunken Ship bar at around 1am local time, and published pictures of the establishment wrecked after the violence. It said one victim is critically ill with damage to an artery.

"We hope they won't, and the players will be in the right frame of mind to let the governing bodies deal with those situations at the end of the game if they do. It's something that will hopefully not happen."
